Waiting to Dance

Piece description from the artist

People see figures in clouds, I see them in bubbles. The anthropomorphism of bubbles is fleeting as their shapes and coordination with other bits of air in the water change rapidly. Here I see a woman in period dress, Victorian era I'd guess by those "sleeves", hands folded in front of her, waiting to be asked to dance. There's a patience to her form.

About Deborah Liljegren

Peekskill, NY

Deb grew up with cameras, films, and other photography accouterments being as normal to her as baseballs or dolls were to other kids. She learned to take what was there, what was real — the light, the dark, the mood, the balance, the air — and translate it through the lens. Having a deep affinity for water, she merged these two passions and began creating underwater work. In the water, everything that we know goes away — noise, gravity, perceptions — there is tremendous peace and it allows Deb to create visual enigmas that calm rather than confuse.

Even with this devout love of photography, Deb had always worked in other media, forging more than just images, rather pieces that seem to morph. That which we actually see is an interpretation — the viewer’s — and that changes with each person, lighting, environment, and more.
